Background of the recruitment and description of the project
Our department is a core basic medical course (Anatomy) within the Faculty of Medicine and is responsible for educating early-year medical students. Our research focuses on hormone-producing cells, utilizing model animals (mice) and organ culture systems to elucidate the mechanisms of cell differentiation and fate determination from the perspective of gene transcriptional regulation. Through this research, we aim to uncover the mechanisms of reproductive capacity acquisition, maturation, and aging in normal individuals, as well as contribute to understanding the pathophysiology of various disorders caused by abnormalities in these processes, including disorders of sex development, precocious puberty, infertility, menopause, and late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) syndrome.

Description
Kurume University is committed to contributing to regional healthcare, and a proactive and enthusiastic approach to medical education is a necessary requirement. Our department specializes in histology and embryology within the field of anatomy. While we do not conduct human cadaver dissection, we are responsible for histology practical training using microscopes.
On the research side, we focus on the aforementioned research themes by generating genome-edited mice and conducting various analyses using these model mice. Our methodologies include histological analysis with electron and laser microscopy, cell sorting using flow cytometry, single-cell gene expression and chromatin structure analysis, spatial transcriptomics, and differentiation induction using organ culture of gonads. We seek individuals who can leverage these research resources to conduct advanced studies
